Becoming "The Right People": Fan-Generated Knowledge Building
[post]
2017
unpublished
Preserved Fulltext
This chapter examines the collaborative knowledge building activities of MST3K fans as they relate to the decoding of jokes and references in the show. We describe the different types of references that make up the show and explore the various internet-based resources that have been constructed by fans in their attempts to decode show's references, and discuss how these sites work as a form of collective intelligence (Jenkins 2006).
